Elena Rybakina is the WTA No. 2 with two Grand Slam titles, including Wimbledon 2022 and the Australian Open 2026.
Overview
Elena Rybakina holds the WTA No. 2 ranking as of 16 March 2026. The Kazakhstani player, who turned professional in 2014, owns two Grand Slam singles titles and thirteen tour-level trophies. At twenty-seven, she combines height and power from the baseline.
Wimbledon 2022 marked her first major breakthrough. Four years later, she added the Australian Open 2026 to her collection. That victory made her the first Kazakhstani player to win a Grand Slam singles crown, a milestone for the nation.
Watch for her serve and flat groundstrokes, which shorten points quickly. Her two-handed backhand allows her to redirect pace with precision. When she finds rhythm early, opponents struggle to disrupt her aggressive court positioning.
